According to Strava, about 60 seconds, then my lungs give out and my quads explode. Is 100 rpm a comfortable cadence for you?

Form? I thought it was legs go round, wheels go round.

I swapped from 48:14 to 48:15 yesterday expecting it would feel like I was being pushed along by angels but I just felt like I ran out of gear. I ended up bouncing in the saddle anytime I wanted to race someone. Also, it's fucking exhausting spinning everywhere. On 48:14 you can pretty much coast if you want but can fly if you need, 48:15 felt like I was an overweight mother of 4 at a spinning class taster session.

Is everyone running lower than 48:16 brakeless? Do you not find it too spinny?

Planet x track with white forks going down Kentish town high street this morning, sweet skidz.

I don't think it counts, I was using my front brake.

Any chance I could buy the belt off you?

I've just posted this if she's looking for something modern:

Specalized Globe Daily - £260

Thought I may as well offer it up before I try and flog it on eBay/Gumtree. Looks exactly like this - http://www.totalfitnessbath.co.uk/2013-Specialized-Daily-1-Step-Thru-p/9217-1002.htm?gclid=CI30sPnvmLoCFZQZtAodvA8ASg but I'll include pictures later if anyone is interested in it.

I found my girlfriend this in the summer, as a (not so) cheap off the peg bike, it even came with a CD because all bikes need a CD manual, included btw.

Unfortunately, she's since moved to a flat on the third floor with no lift, so it's having to be stored outside her house as she can't carry it that far. Having found and bought her something lighter and trendier, it's now your turn. It's got massively long mud guards for the winter months, 3 speed gears that go from "Christ this is easy" to "Shit, I think my chains come off" and a basket with a 5kg rating but I've seen her wobble along with far more than that.

Also it's got a scuff on the mudguard where I got drunk and crashed but it was fantastic fun to ride. I even overtook a few, fairly fat, lycra clad commuters on it once when I couldn't be arsed to fix a puncture one morning.

Hopefully next year she'll move to a fourth floor and be after something carbon.

It's available for collection in North/Central.

Cheers!

Damn it, third dibs on the pedals.

I have a Timbuk2 Especial Tres, that's pretty much spotless. Think I could get around £120 for it?

Dibs pedals.

Potential dibs on the H+ Son

There are quite a few "on here" looking bikes on Gordon St. E.g a black aero looking thing with planet x forks and a tartan sticker on the down tube a short while ago.

Yeah that's mine, my bottom bracket hasn't enjoyed the change in temperature so you can hear me creaking from a mile away.

^ There's often a similar one locked to the front of the Bloomsbury Theatre.

This guy probably doesn't lift.

UCL HHSB Girl. Nice bike.

Also, who's the Fuji owning chemist at UCL? And that lovely fixed Dolan with the Mavic wheels and the severe lack of foot retention?

This is that girls bike at UCL isn't it? Such a beaut.

What wheels are they?

Any chance I can have those tyres?

Hah, I only caught you because I arrived at Hampstead road during a quiet spell and could keep rolling...

Out of interest, what bike were you on? I have a short commute so the faces of the people that overtake me always burn themselves into my memory with shame.

Someone on a fixed unmarked black carbon frame with white forks from euston up to camden?

Moved like shit off a shovel until i jumped you on the right turn on hampstead road and beat you off the lights...

Typical, the one time I get spotted I'm being overtaken.

Would the thin profile fit a macbook pro? Do you have any more details on them?

I'm going to be that guy, if you do decide to split, I'm interested in those omnomoms.

Any photos of the H+Son?

Would you be interested in selling the Easton bars and levers separately?

I really want to lever my way into this thread but I wouldn't know what to say
